A single agave field meets a Brooklyn bourbon barrel in Tequila Ocho Reposado Barrel Select Widow Jane 2022, a limited-edition reposado tequila from master distiller Carlos Camarena. The agaves grew overripe at Rancho El Nacimiento, one family-farmed estate in Arandas, and were processed the slow way brick ovens, wooden fermenters, copper pot stills. The tequila then rested eight weeks and eight days in casks that previously held Widow Jane bourbon, picking up vanilla, oak, and caramel without losing its cooked-agave spine, and bottled at 45.5% ABV. The 2022 release ran just 1,000 cases, certified additive-free. Drink it neat from a flute or snifter a reposado made for the night you can’t decide between tequila and bourbon.
